sjn78 Posted July 30, 2004 Posted July 30, 2004 (edited) Was working away and everything was going fine...added a couple of checkboxes and went to compile it and I got this error. The file 'addbook.dll' cannot be copied to the run directory. The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process. Could not copy temporary files to the output directory. addbook.dll is just one project in my solution I have made. Its not the base project or anything. So..what did I press accidently to stuff this up? Have restarted my pc since it said it was being used by another process but it made no difference. Strange thing is that it was compiling ok beforehand. *Edit...now I'm confused...it will compile using Release mode but not Debug **Another Edit - got it working again. I had the output for the projects going to 1 folder. Set them back to where they default to and it works. Strange though because they were all building to 1 folder before this happened.

ToniMontana Posted July 30, 2004 Posted July 30, 2004 There are many threads about this error in the net. Look in google for the words "cannot be copied to the run directory" and you will finde many comment and tips. Seems that the VisualStudio isnt bug free anyway... One bug message is from bill's company itself: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;313512 ;-) Quote Greetings, Toni.
